I bought a few fun new things for when I run and I want to share what I think are the 5 must haves for a great running experience. 1. “Fanny pack.” When I go running I bring my cell phone to listen to music and to keep track of my mileage and time. However, since I was carrying it in my hand, I’m always afraid that I’m going to drop it when I’m running outside. I thought that I could find a smart watch or fitness tracker to wear instead of carrying my cell. After a lot of hours …

I’m a firm believer in great skin care. Every night, I wash my face and I use a moisturizer. I’ve had this routine for as long as I can remember, but the products I use have changed over the years. I’ve thought about sharing what skin care products I use but by the time I form an opinion and sit down to write a post, I’m usually finishing the bottle and moving to the next greatest thing.

The #1 new year’s resolution is to get more healthy. I guess I’m in good company because that’s my new year’s resolution too, again.

What I’m doing: I change my workout routine to keep it interesting, and also based on the season. Back in August I got back to running. I tend to only run when I can do it outside because the treadmill is SO boring for me. With daylight savings time over, it’s pretty much dark all the freakin time. I don’t like to run in the dark.

Lately I’ve been trying to focus on eating healthier. For me that means I eat smaller meals and snacks throughout the day. I’m always looking for healthy snack ideas so I thought you might like to see what my favorites have been lately. Here are 5 healthy and easy snack ideas: Peanut Butter Sandwich. I don’t think that I can get tired of peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread. In an attempt to reduce the sugar, I’ve recently tried Nature’s Promise Organic No-Stir Crunchy Peanut Butter Spread. I can’t find a link for it online because it’s …
